Out of interest, is that suprecur? Mine comes with a nice easy needle that doesn’t need clipping on or anything, a 0.5ml needle already attached to a syringe that you just take the cap off and away you go. I’m constantly surprised by how different this journey is for each person in each tiny way. That looks like you’re using a drawing up needle then and injecting needle, am I right? Just curious really!
The video (from pharmasure) I watched uses the yellow needle only to draw and inject. Out of habit and because they provided both needles (that was pharmasure the order came from!) ... I use green for drawing and yellow for injecting. I’m not sure why I need two; but I definitely don’t have no needle attached to a syringe! Weird?! x
Yes so weird! My drugs have always come from healthcare at home, they always send the same needles (I think they’re the ones diabetics use for insulin) but vary as to whether they bother to send the alcohol wipes or not. And they don’t provide a video! It all gets us to the same place in the end, I just don’t understand why the journeys are all so varied. I think I just expected it all to be more standardised!
I’ve been with two clinics that are under the same branding, shared care between the two and they can’t even agree between themselves exactly what to do sometimes! One always takes bloods with scans, one doesn’t, one orders small vials of menopur the other sends out big bottles, etc etc. I feel like someone needs to compile all the different ways of doing everything, then work out the most effective, least stressful way and we can all just do that!!! If I ruled the world...
That’s exactly what would happen if I ruled the world! And none of us would need ivf, it would be natural conception all the way. Oh wait, I seem to be developing a God complex...
Well done on getting started again!! Your list is very accurate lol, I forgot to pinch my tummy this morning and wondered why it nipped... doh!! 😁 good luck xx
Sounds like me every time I had to do an injection for my IUI or clexane while I was pregnant.
My last pregnancy was ectopic so IVF is the only option now. One of my first thoughts was about the injections and how I’d cope- you just detailed my thoughts every time. 😂
(I used to have a kitkat after nearly every injection) 🤦🏻♀️
Loved reading this! The injections are so like riding s be but you do always ha e think before you start again! Hopefully these days will fly by for you!! Fingers crossed emu and all the positivity going your way 🙏🏻🤞🏻🍀🌈 xxx
Not so well tonight! I couldn’t get the needle in! Now I’ve got a red itchy rash! Can’t win them all. I’m definitely having a kit kat finger tonight! How’s your journey going? Did you sort what would happen if you moved? x
Oh no! 🤦🏼♀️ this is the kind of thing that’s worrying me I don’t like needles anyway so if it goes wrong what do I do then?? 🙈😰
You have that kit kat finger push the boat out and have 2! 😋
My journey is at a bit of a standstill at the min. I phoned the fertility clinic themselves (after lots of back and forth with the drs/receptionists - who appeared to know nothing) and they said they had never heard of anybody having to wait an allotted time here before they can apply. (Consultant told me I have to live at an address 12months before I would qualify if I moved) so I’m going to go ahead and just hope (a bit extra) that what they have told me is true. Drs have said as long as I have a registered address I can be referred so I am keeping everything crossed. Xx
I promise you, on my first round I never had any issues. The nurses explained everything and I was probably taking more time. I think I’m probably rushing it and not taking my time. Don’t you panic. You’ll be fine.
When you register at a new Dr’s all your notes will be with you from previous GP. So I can’t see how you’d have to start again. Fingers crossed! x
I think deep down I had a feeling this would happen and we would probably have to go down the ivf route but you just want to be hopeful that you won’t, sometimes it doesn’t go to plan.
That is sooo what I’m hoping 🍀🤞🏻 I know I will probably have to do all my bloods again but I’m hoping that won’t affect other things. They should also get the letter that says I qualify I just hope they don’t try and delay it because one of my tubes does function a little.
